invasive procedure directly measures laryngeal function to study electrical activity of vocal folds

needle electrodes

36
Q

EMG looks at _____

A

vocal fold functioning- muscle activity and activation

37
Q

Videokymography

high speed medical imaging

38
Q

Aerodynamic Measurements

A

airflows, air volumes, average air pressures

39
Q

Aerodynamic measurements used to evaluate

A

dysphonia, monitor voice changes, differ between laryngeal and respiratory issues

40
Q

MPT- max phonation time assesses _____

A

sustain “a” during one exhalation: respiration, glottal efficiency, vocal pathology

41
Q

s/z ratio determines if

A

determines if a laryngeal pathology: produce 2 long /s/ sounds and 2 long /z/ sounds .

divide longest s by longest z FOR RATIO

42
Q

s/z ratio more than 1.4 indicates ____

A

possible laryngeal pathology

43
Q

hypernasality results when

A

the VP mechanism doesn’t close nasal passage during non-nasal sounds. ( cleft, adenoidectomy, paralysis of velum due to CP, parkinsons)

44
Q

hypernasality has most affect on 3 manners of artic

A

1) fricatives
2) affricates
3) plosives

most impacted by this vocal quality

45
Q

Etiology of VPI

A

page 288- adenoidectomy, decreased mass of velum

46
Q

hyponasal patients may exhibit the following

A

pts with this vocal quality exhibit

1) open mouth breathing
2) enlarged adenoids

47
Q

frequent hyponasal substitutions

A

b/m, d/n, g/ng

48
Q

nasometer

A

gives visual feedback on computer for oral-nasal ratio - to achieve within normal limits for hypernasal patients

49
Q

to decrease HYPONASALITY in patient

A

1) words with nasal sounds said with exaggeration - feel vibrations in mask
2) nasal glide stimulation: combination helps direct resonance into nasal cavity
3) visual aids - mirror or tissue

50
Q

exaggerating consonants in articulation can alter perception of _______

A

hypernasal resonance - lessen the extra nasal resonance.

51
Q

3 categories for laryngeal cancer

A

T ( site of tumor)
N ( involvement of lymph nodes)
M ( metastasis)

52
Q

stoma

A

opening made in lower part of neck for breathing

53
Q

esophageal voice is produced by ___

A

PES- pharyngoesophageal segment- vibratory source

54
Q

Blom- Singer tracheoesophageal puncture TEP

A

the tracheoesophageal wall ( separates trachea and esophagus) is punctured. device prevents passage of food and liquid into the trachea.

55
Q

granulomas are vascular lesions usually developed on the

A

arytenoid cartilages in posterior laryngeal area

56
Q

Hemangiomas

A

soft pliable filled with blood- similar to granulomas

usually surgically removed

57
Q

Leukoplakia

A

benign white thick patches on mucosa -

sounds low pitched breathy and soft in vocal quality

58
Q

hyperkeratosis

A

rough pink lesion in oral, pharynx or larynx

reduced loudness and low pitch

59
Q

laryngomalacia

A

epiglottis impacted- abnormal development. epiglottis resists the airstream causing stridor ( rough and breathy noise upon inhalation)

60
Q

papillomas

primarily in kids and wart like growths by HPV- MANY SURGERIES NEEDED FOR THIS phonation disorder

most concerned about airway preservation

61
Q

young kids can experience laryngeal trauma by

A

intake of sharp object

62
Q

laryngeal web

A

membrane grows in anterior portion of glottis

63
Q

PVFM: paradoxical vocal fold motion disorder

A

aka laryngeal dyskinesia –> inappropriate adduction (closure) of true vocal folds during inhale or exhale.

64
Q

patients with paradoxical vocal fold disorder appear

A

asthmatic - some display stridor and dysphonia

65
Q

ankylosis

A

movement of arytenoids restricted because of bone disease .

66
Q

popular technique for vocal fold medialization

A

thyroplasty type 1 - window in thyroid cartilage and places silastic implant to keep paralyzed fold medialized.

67
Q

spasmodic dysphonia

A

laryngeal dystonia
can be abducted or adducted
botox used a lot with hyperadduction cases

68
Q

A

page 301

69

ALS patients have poor

A

respiratory control, low pitched monotonous speech

70

vocal nodules

A

increase mass of folds, often bilateral, make the folds vibrate at slower rate and result in lower pitch

71
Q

polyps are unilateral

A

USUALLY!

72
Q

patients with polyps sound

breathy and hoarse - diplphonia may be present too.

73
Q

contact ulcers

A

ulcerated granulated tissue on posterior third of glottal margin

74
Q

always ensure____ is completed before voice therapy

medical evaluation must be completed

75

facial mask technique

76
Q

LOW PITCH VOICE

A

typically breathy and hoarse

77
